Shyne on Ending Feud with Diddy: “This Could Have Ended Like Tupac and B.I.G.”
Posted by Mr.North under Beef , Good For Hip Hop , Good For Humanity , Quotes , Things I Like[27] Comments
Diddy and Shyne sent shockwaves across the hip-hop community when photos hit the internet of the former labelmates hanging out during Paris Fashion Week. The various photos that weekend confirmed the two put their much publicized past beef behind them. In a written statement, Shyne explains the reasoning behind the truce, and how their pact can help the young Black and Latin American communities.
“You can’t overstate the cultural significance of what Shyne and Diddy reconciling means. You know I’m about it when it comes to them hammers, thus unfortunately this could have ended like Tupac and B.I.G. But what if Tupac and B.I.G ended like this and reconciled? Let’s celebrate this moment as a historical event and a victory for hip-hop and Afro and Latin American men trained to exterminate each other, It’s a new day! L’chaim!!!”

More from Shyne’s written statement, after the jump….
“On a scale of what this says to African and Latin American men, who have been trained to self hate and to self-destruct, this is a watershed moment. The paradigm shift that’s taking place as the way Afro and Latin American men deal with each other is tremendous. This could be a gigantic step in putting an end to the cycle of hate and violence that is self-genocidal and destroying the minority community by sending fathers off to jail or an early grave.”

cornball!!!!
nobody’s saying you have to clap Diddy, idiot! But to sit next to him and accept how he ‘did’ you like that…without calling him out for it. You bitched out. Plain and simple.
It’s one thing to say you’re not about violence anymore. It’s another to start of with ‘you know I’m still bout them hammers’
STFU!

Great move by Shyne… Either way positive for hip hop and gaining support from another Free Mason – he will be back in the U.S. In no time!

I wish shyne would stop. Anybody from Brooklyn knows that he didn’t put in work the streets and all that stuff that he’s claiming…
He even admitted that before he got locked that the only reason he even started carrying is because the mafia tried to jump him and shot at him…
Now he’s trying to claim a thug’s life because he shot in the club and had a bullet (that might not had even been his) rickashay and hit someone he wasn’t aiming at….smdh

huh ?
really shyne pac and big
c’mon son get out here with that bs
March 13th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
He just loves to compare himself ta BIG,,,, lol,,,, I hope someone at fashion week let him know, religious or not that look is WACK,, I wonder how much it cost diddy to squash this? a shyney nickel?
March 13th, 2012 at 9:03 pm
for it to end up like pac and big…they’d have to be on the same level as pac and big. clearly, these two are not even close.
March 13th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
Me and turf disagree about alot of things but not this!! agreed turf Shyne has always been a lame, a Beleizean Jew give me a break- his ancestors are rolling over their graves. And he’s even more a cornball for using religion as a mask.

LOST ME AT “You know I’m about it when it comes to them hammers”
He pulled a close your eyes and shoot and hit random people in a club, that’s tough to do. Stevie Wonder could shoot up a club and hit people too if the club was packed.
Basically this interview tells me Diddy wrote a check to Shyne and everyone is happy.

He wasn’t talking this lame shit 10 yrs ago. Gay Diddy let you take the fall & you took it. #Pointblank
March 14th, 2012 at 3:02 am
I agree with you 1000% percent! & also will like to call him out for tryna be a flossy Hasidic…that is absolutely what their culture is not about!
March 14th, 2012 at 3:03 am
Fact is, Shyne lied when he said Diddy never reached out to him when Shyne was in prison.
He now admits that Diddy did.
So… what else might he be lying about?
Diddy’s the bigger man here. He’s saving his ass by going the extra mile to reconcile.
March 14th, 2012 at 3:04 am
thank you! bullshit! continuation of the absolute worst comeback ever
March 14th, 2012 at 3:16 am
what did puff do to shyne exactly? he never dissed shyne ever. we all should salute any men who (especially minority men) can hold themselves accountable for their own actions, and not blame another person for their choices. i appreciate shyne displaying his growth as a man by not backtracking to what he is used to doing and stepping into what he wants to do… which is to be a better person.
reading these comments from some people u can tell who as really did some dirt in their life AND manned up to it.

Now this must be the most ignorant ish I’ve peep all year “… You know I’m about it when it comes to them hammers, thus unfortunately this could have ended like Tupac and B.I.G”…listen to be honest nobody expect duke to body Diddy, but to dead this feud miraculously at fashion week makes this fool earn cornball of the year award. And what kind of religious man is all up in a fashion show saying “I’m all about them hammers”??? C’mon son, didn’t you just do a 9 year stretch for ish like this? With the $2 mill you Stumbled on (thanks to LA Reid) you need to go get your mind and music right….

This is cultural confusion at its most hilarious, “Let’s celebrate this moment as a historical event and a victory for hip-hop and Afro and Latin American men trained to exterminate each other, It’s a new day! L’chaim!!!” GTFOHWTBS I personally know dudes that used to whip on this lame and he was not gun bustin’ at them. His only claim to fame was sounding like B.I.G. which has now morphed into bustin’ a shot in a crowded club with his eyes closed. Now he’s wearing a satin Hugh Hefner-like robe squashing his “beef” with a dude that wears foundation and pencils in his eyebrows GTFOHWTB!!! All those jailhouse interviews with him talking sideways have been recanted and we’re supposed to believe him… NOT! He’s trying to use this situation to pivot for a resident alien card to reenter the US.

Now lets make that music says Kanye…

Stfu turf you a bozo. Shyne is a real g. Only real men understand war. This deeper than rap. Shyne did the right thing by making in peace. War ain’t nothing to play with
March 14th, 2012 at 10:00 am
Wtf you talking bout.? What part of brooklyn you from? Shyne from Flatbush & church ave where he is a known gun slinger. Never said he was the tuffest but ain’t know questioning his stripes.
I was there in front of daddy’s house when he popped droc from the mafia head off.
It was 10 of them & shyne came back with them choppers & shot the them up. This is in the records no rap song.
10 years in Clinton not a scratch. Now he retired & trying to show the youngsters how to avoid jail & early graves. That’s gangster!

Shyne is smart enough to know history, that the Israelites are originally from Africa. He is also smart enough to leave the streets alone. A lame wants to see black men killing each other. Shyne trying be smarter than the kkk dummies
March 14th, 2012 at 11:25 am
Shyne learned from what happened with PAC & biggie. He couodve come home on his mad dog trip. He a better man than me. I would’ve come home & burry diddy for sending me to jail for ten years. I’m saying tho
March 14th, 2012 at 11:32 am
Shyne put out two classic albums. Both sold a million copies. Shyne gave birth to Rick Ross & the game & all these aspiring rap drug lords & gangbangers. We all talk about it shyne lived it & captures it in his songs. Can’t wait for that new street album. Shyne po forever
March 14th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
wasn’t smart enough to stay out of Jail!
March 14th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Shyne … stop it 5. What kind of drugs are you on? What kind of brain washing have you undergone in that penetentary. Diddy didn’t care a bit about you, your lawyer fees, your family and how they would be when you’re locked up, how you are going to do 10 years upstate, how you will recoup after a 10 year bid how you’ll be financially. If anything you need to be writing your dumb blogs about your uncle and family in Belize who helped you out. You are a moron and a lame. Only a lame would sit next to a man who gave testimony that got you locked up. Only a real lame would compare this to a “historical event”. Those 10 years really messed you up mentally and physically as we can now see.
March 14th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Funniest shit I heard all day….who is this Shyne???
March 14th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
Thanks for your clarity – i was struggling to see what Puff did wrong – he paid Shyne’s legal fees, a jury found Shyne guilty yet some losers want hate. Shyne grew up – Diddy’s mega – whatever haters think!!!
March 15th, 2012 at 10:41 pm
why was he “about hammers” with his dad being who he is? its stupid if he was and its stupid if hes lying about it.
March 19th, 2012 at 11:52 am
shockwaves, really?
